Re: always look for a new job?

["Hutchings, Christa" <cwhutchings -at- HOMEWIRELESS -dot- COM>]

Amen to both Melissa and Tom. I live in a northern Atlanta suburb and
work in a northeastern Atlanta suburb and I too get calls from
recruiters even though I am not job hunting (and it's been 6 years since
I went through a local recruiter!).

The TW market here has been pretty good for several years now, but I
will *third* Tom's and Melissa's statements regarding the traffic here -
it is terrible in the northern suburban areas. These areas have exploded
in the past few years and some of the fastest developing areas still
contain mostly 2-lane country roads. What used to be a 25-minute commute
a few years ago is now a 45-50 minute commute. And yes, we have had
many, many Ozone Action Alerts this summer, something unheard of just a
few years ago.

I guess our former mayor's dream of Atlanta becoming a "great
international city" is coming true, smog and all!

I'll second Tom's opinion of the Atlanta job market.  I live in a
northern
suburb of Atlanta, and while I can't claim to be getting calls every
other
day, I did get one just yesterday, and I am not looking for a job nor do
I
have my resume posted anywhere.  But I do routinely hear from more
people
looking for a tech writer than I hear from tech writers looking for
work.

(but for that matter, I'll second Tom's opinion of the traffic and Ozone
too...)
